What 순 means

Its meaning depends on the word around it.

In 순수, it links to 純, a Chinese character used in Korean writing for the sense “pure.” In 순위 and 순번, it links to 順, associated with order. The whole Korean word settles the meaning.

When did Hangul take shape?

The earliest official record dates to 1443; explanation followed in 1446. The 1446 book Hunminjeongeum explained Hangul. The system was designed to make Korean easier to write than using Chinese characters.

Hangul blocks join consonant and vowel letters into syllables; these component letters are called jamo.
